Podtoid 103 is tonight, if you're into that sort of thing photo

I've got no idea what we'll be talking about, but it'll probably have something to do with videogames and human anatomy.

You know the drill by now: ask us questions, and the most interesting query will be rewarded with a Dtoid swag bag.

Woo, Podtoid.

I have three questions:

When will the next street fighter movie style commentary be?

If shadow of the collosus and pysconauts where somehow fused into the same game how would that go and how long would you spend talking about it?

And finally jim if you move to America will podtoid end?

Is there a point to E3?
I mean, most of what we had already known was leaked well before the actual shows were started. And besides that, it seems like all the conferences failed to live up to whatever preconceived notions any of really had.
If they do away with E3 would it really be that generally missed?

If Brad Nicholson flexes his pecks against a steel plate will it get bent?

Do you think that Activision’s statement about leaving the ps3 if the price doesn’t drop will have any affect on Sony. If so how low do you think it will go?

The fact that Brad "Big Arms" Nicholson is wearing a GiantBomb.com Brad Shoemaker is awesome :). My question is what game would like from Japan to come out in the USA? For example Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 or in the U.S. knows as Yakuza 3 would be a game I loved to be here,SEGA fails again!

Do you think the intense reaction to L4D2 at E3 could have happened on a platform other than E3? Is the average X360 or PS3 user sensitive and informed enough?

As a post-E3 retrospective - do you think Destructoid's reputation with the gaming news media is changing?

Do we deserve it? ^_^

Hey Topher, you mentioned this game a few weeks back and I was wondering how quitting was going? Also how did the game help/not help in that endeavor? I have a few friends that are struggling to quit and would like to recommend anything I could to help them with that.

And for everyone, do you think these types of self help games (Brain Training, Spanish Coach, Cooking Guide, My SAT Coach, etc.) targeted at an expanded audience are a good thing for the advancement of the industry in general...getting people in at some level at which they might become hooked on gaming and develop and interest in titles deemed to be more 'core? Or is it the end of the world and lead to the bastardisation of everything we've come to know and love about gaming and lead to more and more shovelware?

Lately I have been enjoying multiplayer games which I have found to be quite enjoyable, but the community for these games is either rather small or rather nonexistent. In my case, I speak of games like the older splinter cell games (chaos theory in particular) or the recent Virtual On game on Xbox Live arcade, or the Metal Gear Solid 3 Online multiplayer which konami obliterated back in 2008. What games do or did you enjoy that no longer has a strong community to support it? As a followup to this question, will future Aaron Linde's Bonerquest games have a strong multiplayer support?

Sega hopes its newest IP is The Conduit for the hardcore on the Wii

The newest iteration in the series should keep Fight Night: Round 4 another

Are we now in the dog days of summer from a gaming perspective? Are they any games you missed that you'll try to catch up on during this dry spell?

How do you guys feel about a mute character, like Gordan Freeman, but in a 3rd person point-of-view? Where you can physically see the character, and see all his actions that you don't explicitly control? Like Isaac Clarke.

Does it piss you off that some people still see videogames as toys? I know this relates tot he oft-discussed topic of maturity in games but I just feel like getting angry at ignorant idiots. That guy who played Deadpool in Wolverine is a good example- he said that he hates videogames because they are pointless and a waste of time. He then went on to discuss his favourite movies.

Now that there are actually a good number of games worth playing coming out in the summer, do you find it harder to catch up on games that you missed during the holiday season?

What games would you reccomend for someone who never owned a PS2, but who got to play some of the big games anyway? (I was able to play Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, both God of Wars, Katamari Damacy and Shadow of the Colossus. And don't say Ico, because it's already on my list)

How long will it be until Kojima Studios and Bonerquest Productions merges to create Metal Boner Solid: Sub Sandwich?

Serious question: How often do you find a game comes along, gets hyped to the moon and actually managed to satisfy you?

When you guys saw the Splinter Cell Convinction demo, did anyone think of having that in Batman Arkham Asylum? I know it doesn't fit in the game since Bale isn't doing any voice work but I always got a kick out of him saying "WHERE IS HE?!?!"

What's the longest marathon session of gaming you have ever done initially or not.

If you have to take a non-gamer or someone who is strictly casually and make them appreciate gaming as a medium more what games would make them play?

What classic franchise do you want brought back a la ghostbusters?

Is there a game you wanted really badly but got canned or changed into something totally different then when it was announced?

What was your favorite console launch?

What game do you complete begrudgingly after realizing that you invested so much time into that you wouldn't want that time to be a waste?

What's the weirdest video game dream you've ever had?

So I bought a PSP recently for all the Metal Gear games on the system and because of Peacewalker. I started playing Metal Gear Acid and this game is really quite strange, I usually dislike RPGs but as this is Metal Gear it is quite enjoyable. Does anybody on the Podtoid crew played any of the Acid games? And what did you think of them?

Also which game are you more excited for: Forza 3 or Gran Turismo 5?

I think team sports games have been doing for several years what Scribblenauts is about to do: provide a varied and fun game experience built on the back of calculating and processing a huge database of variables (ie. 24 some player stats, over X number of roster slots, across Y number of teams, by any number of gaming situations and any number of player commands). Objectnaut, the Scribblenaut "object-engine", is the same idea as the Madden engine of game and season play.

Are "core" gamers selling themselves short of amazing experiences because of sports content, or is content preference a justifiable negation of "infinitely" varied play scenarios?

Long question, but I think its got legs for discussion!

As I'm not a big fan of zombie movies, I never looked much into zombie type games. My girlfriend however got me Resident Evil 5 as a gift and we played through the entire thing together. As much as I think the game has quite some flaws, I really did enjoy the cooperative aspect and now I'm up for more. Could you recommend any games out there that are similar in coöp play?

1)My Dad's name is Christopher, but we call him Topher.

Is Topher's full name Christopher Cantler?

2)What are your top five favorite movie games?

Mine are Goldeneye, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Spiderman 2, Star Wars Trilogy(arcade), Street Fighter Movie Game (SF2 with digitized characters is awesome) and Enter the Matrix.

This is of the utmost importance:

Is that Chet flexing in the picture, and if so, why has the world not stop revolving? Or has the manly mass that is Chet actually changed the rotation of the earth to center itself around his biceps and pecs? Please respond, or else we could face ARMageddon!

My question is about difficulty.

I hear the complaint about the difference in difficulty being simply how much damage is done to and by you the player. What are some other options for developers? How could they creatively change the difficulty in the game, but in a way that's actually feasible as far as development costs, not just idealistic?

Why do RPG enthusiasts so readily accept mediocrity within the genre?

Games like Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean 4, Last Remnant, etc... still manage to have a following – or at least people who are willing to score them well enough in reviews. Older games like Lufia, Lunar, and Legaia (all of which I loved – alteration unintended), are in retrospect painfully mediocre, yet are remembered fondly by me and most other fans of the genre. Fans of the GTA series are quick to attack any blatant GTA ripoff, yet even the least original RPG will amass throngs of stalwart defenders. My observation may be a bit off, but it seems like RPGers champion their genre much differently than other gamers (even snobbishly at times). Why might that be?

Should we change the name of the medium from videogames to something else? similar to how comic books came to be called graphic novels in the 80s. Something like: Interactive Movies or CGNovels, perhaps? And do you think the medium would earn more respect if it was not called videogames?

What difficulty do you guys usualy play at when you play a game for the first time?

Does bustin' make you feel good?

If Chet was a Ghost Buster, would he use the proton-pack, or just wrestle the ghost into the trap himself?

Why do most indie games suck?
